Cirque Du Freak: A living nightmare

Darren Shan was a normal boy who's obsessed with spiders. His best friend was Steve Leonard, and Steve's obsessed with vampires. One day, there's a freak show in town and Steve and Darren decided to go to the freak show. After the show ended, Steve realized a vampire named Vur Horston or Larten Crepsley and he was one of the freak who had a poisonous and deadly pet spider named Madam Octa. Darren witnessed Steve talking to Mr.Crepsley about becoming a vampire's assistant and Darren doesn't wanted to be friend with Steve anymore. After that, Darren stole Madam Octa and showed it to Steve, but Steve screamed and the fatal spider bit Steve in the neck and he had fallen into a coma. There's only one way to save Steve and that is for Darren for becoming Mr.Crepsley's assistant. Read the book to see if Darren and Steve would be each other friends or enemy. I think everybody should read this book because it is spooky and it includes supernatural beings like vampires.
